The Simpson Strong‑Tie RCA‑C Rigid Connector Angle is a corrosion‑resistant, galvanized steel clip engineered to connect cold‑formed steel stud framing to concrete or masonry supports. With prepunched holes for a range of anchor sizes, including 1/2-in. anchor screws or bolts and 1/4-in. concrete screws, it offers flexibility and saves time by reducing field drilling. The 2-in. x 2-in. leg design provides ample attachment space, and the connector is load rated for both shear/tension and light moment applications, making it versatile for stud reinforcement, bridging, jamb stud blocking, and other structural framing uses.
